## Instructions

6. For the wet batter, combine 1 cup of flour, 2 eggs (no shells), and 2 cups of sparkling water; whisk until it has a crepe-like consistency.
7. Dry off the cleaned chicken pieces with a paper towel.
8. First, coat the chicken in plain flour.
9. Next, toss the floured chicken in the wet batter for the second coat, ensuring it's extra crispy.
10. Then, coat the chicken in the seasoned flour.
11. Carefully place the coated chicken into peanut oil preheated to 350°F.

13. While the chicken rests, combine hot sauce, honey, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and lemon juice in a pot to make the hot honey sauce.
